DRAGON QUEST Smash/Grow

Dragon Quest's roguelite action RPG ranks 31 globally with $4.4 million June revenue, down 37 percent.

Dragon Quest Smash/Grow combines the franchise's tactical turn-based combat with roguelite progression mechanics. Players smash through monster hordes and execute signature Coup de Grâce attacks while building characters through random Blessings that reshape strategy. Each run adapts to changing tactical situations, ensuring varied gameplay and strategic flexibility across multiple attempts.

Square Enix released Dragon Quest Smash/Grow in April 2026 as a roguelite action RPG targeting global audiences. By June, the title achieved rank 31 worldwide with $4.4 million in monthly revenue. The 37 percent month-over-month decline, however, signals significant retention challenges as the newly launched title struggles to maintain early player engagement.
